I try really, really hard not to complain because I realize that there’s so many people with situations that are so much more stressful than mine. I’m really blessed to have generally healthy children, but March was a particularly tough month for us.

We’re in the waiting room right now UC. We were just here Wednesday with Gage. And we were here two weeks prior when he had the flu.

My child is miserable. He’s also missed about 2 weeks of school between this and the flu. What a nightmare. We’re now dealing with double wax compactions and infections in his ears. This is not a first for him, but this is the longest I can remember it going on without seeing some type of improvement. Out of desperation, we did a saline rinse on both of his ears last night and nothing came out. It’s just not moving. We know we still have several days of antibiotics and plenty of drops, but that doesn’t seem to be doing the trick. So, we’re at UC waiting to see what we can do in the meantime so that he can return to school.

He can hardly hear anything, and it’s making him dizzy. He’s hardly eaten or slept the last few nights. I was up with him all night last night. All I could do is put him on a heating pad, rub his back and just try to get him relax so he could sleep a little bit.

I probably get some answers today or at least begin to see some improvement.

Gary came on home from work early. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I needed him today. And this thing… Mrs. Norah Harper is the sweetest child!! She has been so helpful. She has been helping with the dogs, laundry, and has even been tidying Gage’s room up and helping him.

She’s my thoughtful child. She’s always happy and ready to help. Most of the time without my even asking. She’s just a kind little human.

I love my kiddos madly. It’s just hard when we see them struggling and we’re not sure what to do to fix it. I think about Moms and Dads that have to do that on the daily basis, and I do not take their health (mental or physical) for granted. Gosh bless the families that have children with chronic illnesses or mental issues. Watching our children suffer is the toughest thing.

Here’s to a new month. I hope this one will be without so much sickness for us and I hope all of you are blessed with good health as well!!
